One of the impudent assumptions OF
the republican party is, that the growth
of the country in population and wealth
for twenty-five years is due to the be-
nefcent effects Of its high protective
tariff. We ale coolly assured that the
United States have enriched by taxing
themselves. We are pointed to the
population then and now. No reckon
ing is made of the millions of immi-
grants who have come to this country
with their Drawn and money! no state
ment is made of the millions of acres OF
farming lands which have been added
to the productive wealth OF the country;
no account is taken of the thriving
cities that have grown up in the west,
not as bene6ciaries from, but as con-
tributors to the tariff tax. The truth
is. that the immigrants knew as much
when they came here about the tariff as
they did about Choctaw. They were
attracted by u cheap and fertile
lands. Mr.. Carlyle hit it as to econom.
